The Department of the Navy, through the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the procurement of inboard marine diesel engines for the U.S. Navy's 7-meter rigid inflatable boats (RIBs). The RFI aims to identify commercially available engines that meet specific performance and operational requirements, including a rated output of at least 200 bhp, compliance with EPA Tier 3 emissions standards, and compatibility with NATO fuels. This initiative is crucial for ensuring the operational readiness and efficiency of the Navy's maritime capabilities, with an anticipated need for approximately thirty engines per year. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses by 2:00 PM (EST) on Thursday, October 30, 2024, and may direct inquiries to Joseph Saponaro or Matt Warncke via their provided email addresses.
